Summer League

Rampart Celtic 4-2 Cox's FC

Andrew Kieran scored twice as Rampart Celtic got their Summer League campaign off to an ideal start on Friday night.

A year after beating Muirhevnamor in the opener, Kieran Pickering's side beat newcomers Cox's FC courtesy of a dominant first half showing.

Kieran put Rampart in front after three minutes, however, Cox's hit back within nine minutes thanks to a goal from Aidan Grimes.

Saheed Ogunforuwa shot home to restore the Rampart advantage shortly before the half-hour, while Brendan Rogers sent them to the interval 3-1 ahead.

Yet Cox's weren't finished and when Martin Murphy shot home excellently from a free-kick, their deficit was down to the minimum again.

Though Kieran dashed their hopes of a comeback soon after, dispatching Rampart's fourth.

Woodview 0-0 Fane FC

The opening game of the Summer League season finished scoreless at DkIT on Wednesday night

A close end-to-end battle emerged between Woodview and Fane despite it being a game of few chances.

Woodview went closest in the first half, rattling the 'bar, however, it took a heroic clearance off the line from Chris Caulfield to deny Fane a lead goal.

With 10 minutes to go, Stephen Grimes was presented with a glorious opportunity to put Woodview ahead, though he struck his penalty off target.

Fane's Seán Bailey was Man of the Match.
